I'm from the US and i've spent two seperate two week trips to Albania. One in the summer time and one in the spring time. The first trip exploring Tirana, Durres and Podradec. The second exploring southern Albania: Vlore, Sarandë and Gjirokastër. Some of the most beautiful scenery and friendly people. Especially Sarandë and Gjirokastër, it was almost as if out of a movie set. Look forward to visiting again someday, the whole country has a very distinct aura or magic about it, maybe due to its recent emergence as a country available to the rest of the world. Can't wait to return someday.
welcome bro
As an Italian we have a total different way of view. Tirana and especially the capital it's not so cool, not safe, poor, sometimes they do have power outages all over the place. Once parked my car in front of my apartment that i rented, called police bc i observed suspicious activity until to no police power at all. The next morning i reported my car for being vandalized and tried to steal, to open the driver door but to not good results for them. Left after 1 week. Disappointed and terribly & terrified
@@antoniotonino3383 hahahaha lying serb 🤥
You have no idea how much it means for us Albanians that an American saying that. What America has done for us you can come and have a land here whatever you want
@@ledmarku9779bravo vlla shum mir i tha 😂
I am from South America and i have lived in Albania about 4 years and it's a wonderful place.
We just left Albania 🇦🇱
Was there for 30 days ....mostly Tirana County and the Northern County's....although we did go down to Vlore County for 5 days .....
Wanted to go up to the into Alpine Mountains but our loaner car 🚗 was of very small engine and 175.000 km on the clock ....
Albania 🇦🇱 is our most favorite Country in Europe 🇪🇺 the most friendly people and everyone was super nice to us even the Traffic Police 🚔 😀
We wanted to stay longer but will come back next year ....
The US Embassy in Tirana says that US Citizens can get there 90 Day Visa Extended on the spot for 1 Year Visa at the Local PD Station....
Albania is very affordable and the Food is very good with a huge variety and many Vegetables and Fruits as Agricultural is big part of the Economy....
Ciao Tirana see you next year 👋
It's hard to find this type of value for such a beautiful experience ❣️
You’re more than welcome!
funny seeing an american trying to over extend their visa whilst you discriminate all the immigrants in your own country
Albania, the gem of Europe 🇦🇱
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oki buddy
Those condo prices are incredible. It looks like a very lovely place... and Albanians are famous for being friendly and welcoming people. On the topic of safety and Albanian people, in their history it was a cultural norm (from what I've read) that they would generously offer anyone who needed a place to stop and sleep a bed and food for the night. They seemed to be one big community or family. No doubt that has changed somewhat as they became more westernized ("my property, my stuff"), but fortunately it will take some generations for that kindness and generocity to fade.
Ke plotsisht të drejt, ashtu kanë qenë deri në vitetë e 90! Tani sikur nuk janë ma shqiptar, ma shumë kanë mar tradita të gabuara perëndimore🙄
Im not able to walk alone in london or toronto, istanbul,paris, milano, mexico,brazil,etc, but i walked alone in albania 1 am, 2 am, 3am, 4 am, looking for trouble and there was none.
Albania is more safe then many other countries in the world.
Love that country❤❤❤
That’s true! I live in Boston (a pretty safe city by any Us measure) and Albania is way safer!
Thank you for your wonderful words our tourists are our guests and our guest is highly respected
I was in Sarandë and Butrint and this cities are so beautifull and I ve always think that Albania is the most underatted country
Just came back from Ksamil! I t was wonderfull
I'm albanian but live in France. And I miss my Albania so much. Thank you for this video ☺☺
I’ve watched a lot of Albanian videos. If I were I young man I’d totally be investing in this country . Looks amazing to me 😮🙂
Too much drug money there in the Real Estate Sector. In the Capital City,apartments are so expensive the locals cant afford to buy it. Youngsters are leaving due to corruption. But tourism might be the future if the government improves infrastructure. Could have been a perfect country if right politics. Too bad

I just recently visited Albania vith family in Saranda) it's very save country compered to Sweden I live. Amazing nature great food and very friendly people.
Pogradec and Schkodër are also very nice and feel extremely safe.
Awesome video Gabi, I would never in a million years have an image like this when someone mentions Albania.
Informative buddy. safe travels 😀
Same for me! Such a great discovery
Albania is amazing country with amazing people.
Great food and great places to visit.
Albania ?? Yes that's right it is one of the more welcoming more warm more friendly and definitely the safest place on earth as you said
Thank you Gabi 😊👍
Albania is very safe for the tourists, Some Albanians might have issues with each other but turists they do respect a lot and make them feel wellcome
Albania has criminality problems but very few delinquency! It’s way safer than many areas of Boston where I live! And hospitality is engraved in the Albanian DNA!
I will move to albania wen i am retired
Nice 😉🇦🇱
If will be too late if you don’t buy property now
5 years ago those apartments that he is so surprised to see, were only 500 euros a meter
Чудесно е , направете още клипове там !!!
Beautiful places and beautiful beaches !!! 😍
Albania is such a gorgeous place. love your video.
Hello Gabi, you definitely should explore more. There is wonderful places faraway from that concrete 😵💫.
Great information about Real-estate , waiting for your next trip !
This is a great video, thanks for showing on of my friends country
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@ridewithgabi np
Oh thank you gabi! This beach in ksamil is the one i'm searching for! Now i got the name! 🎉
Hey Gabi...Jose in Toronto Canada here love all your vids :)
thank you Jose ;)
Just found you today(this channel). Good videos with some education included...Really impressed.
Thanks for spreading the truth of a nice place like Albania the nation of holidays ! Have fun sir
LOL! Your video intro with the "shorts fishing" was really funny (and unfortunate).
ahahah luckily my friend Alex saved my shorts
Thank you for sharing ... Like the thought of cheaper Europe 😆
With this crazy inflation we need a cheaper Europe :)
Bravo👍👍👍
looking forward to visiting that place just amazing
Love from Greece. Respect
#1 Albania 🇦🇱
Superb !!!
honestly love these vlogs
Very informative vlog Gabi..Looks great, thank you
My pleasure 😉🇦🇱✌️
Yes it's extremely safe.
2023 is almost coming and we dont care if people think we are dangerous or poor ,world is passing through shit right now and thank good im Albanian and we always were and will be a peacful country
Hey Italian guy hello from Florida USA . Thank you for visiting my country of origin 🇦🇱
Some dark years? It was 45 years of communist dictatorship lol And don't forget more than 500 years of Ottoman occupation.
It's only been 30 years since Albania appeared on the map again and started everything from 0. We're lucky to still have a country to call homeland
Exactly right! It’s amazing how much progress has been made and in the coming years more and more people will admire Albania
The pearl of Europe 🇦🇱❤️🇽🇰
🖐️🤣🤣🤣
Amazing, those property prices look great - as long as the political situation stays stable
Yes that’s true. 😉✌️
Albania has proven to be stable for decades, nothing to worry politically. It’s on a western path, every year strengthening their democracy.
thank you
I suggest a motorbike tour up to the northen Albanian Alps.
I used to steal beer with a magnet from the balcony of my neighbor like that, until she caught me. She brought the whole case upstairs. 🤣
I’m just here because I miss my home town and I’ve been there for 2 months but I crave my home so much already
Hi Gabi, what are your thoughts on staying in Ksamil for 4 nights vs Sarande?
Welcome back to our country :) :)
Well done 👍 body enjoy.
I live in Saranda
Very safe specially for single ladies traveling alone. 2 years here. Not a problem
Came back from Albania last week, and to be honest, the prices they are using now in days, its basically the same as the rest of europe, so in my opinion your better off any other place in europe where you can get have access to decent infrastructure. And to me ksamil is a tourist trap, its so overrated its scary. The rest of the country i enjoyed getting to know, but ksamil was a real bummer. Berat and Gyrocaster were decent surprises. Almost all albanian beaches dont have any sand, so just keep that in mind, the alcohol there is also kind of expensive considering your talking about a place with fairly low wages.
Gorgeous video of a beautiful country. Are you greek by the way? I think so because of the accent hehe
How's the cost of living in Albania? About how much $$$ do you need per month for comfortable living?
I’ve been in Albania and people are very friendly and food so nice ,but one thing is bad drivers are crazy they don’t respect anything
E gjith Shqiperia eshte nje vend fantastik
How are these condos for earthquake safety?
Bro,did you pay 100 lek(0.80€) for the haircut or 1000 lek(8€). I always have paid like 2 euros there,cant believe its 8 euros a haircut
Where did you get that shirt from?
Where did you rent your motor bike from? Plsss
Just got back from albania, saranda and tsmail, it was the opposite of all the positive comments here. Maybe it was because it was low season and it seemed like the place was essentially a building site, maybe getting ready for summer but our experience was very different to that of his videos and blogs we looked at before going. Butrint was excellent though.
Propaganda!!!
@@i.h.2684 what is ?
Albania has a lot of natural beauty. I want to visit sometime. I think your view is pretty simplistic of why Albania is poor. You just can’t blame it on Communism. Even in many parts of your own country of Italy, you have impoverished people in the south living in destitution. And don’t get me started on Thailand which was never communist yet it’s dirt poor in a lot of areas. And I’m not so sure if Albania divorced itself from its communist past because Albanians still overwhelmingly elect socialist parties to lead the country. So some people may be doing better since the fall of communist, but the vast majority are not economically better off. But keep up the good content! I like watching your videos.
❤
Albaniaaaaaaaaaa ❤🦅
Hi, are Saranda and Ksamil worth a visit fir nightlife too? I think they could be like different, unordinary spots to enjoy nightlife isn't it?
Maybe some nightlife in Saranda but if you want proper nightlife you go to Tirana
@@Metalqorri ok thank you..even in summertime?
No word NO!
Dhermi is best my friend
I will go there one day
Where is this guy from?

And you should stop commenting without watching the video 😅

How about for a solo woman on a road trip?☺️
It's a safe country. Women are respected...
It’s a very safe country, way safer than London, Amsterdam, Rome and you name it!
Don't worry it's very safe.. maybe if you come alone find an Albanian man if you like and have a good time..😊
Albania is a nice country. Be careful in Tirana there are place dangerous with some level of crimes. Also most stores selling clothes has no tag prices on the items. They have 3 level of prices: price for locals, price for tourists and the most expensive are for Americans tourist. Be ware of females stores clerk, they always will try to trick you with money when you purchase anything. In general people are very friendly and helpful.
The food I'd good and cheap. Most young women are pretty with an amazing body , you will not see too many fat girls in the city. Many younger men are in criminals activities like drugs selling and trafficking, but they have problems among themselves, and don't affect the tourists.
Level of crimes lmao 😂
You are talking just a bunch of bullshits!
lol funny things mate , in every part of world existing those stuff mate are you serious . No drama pls

Ja pasken fut ahahaha
Kind but not foolish... and definitely dangerous when needed!
Albania it’s not cheap man don’t say that maybe is for u and for other European people but actually for the residents of Albania is terrible very expensive
AI ka ardhur te beje pushim ska ardhur te qaje hallet e gjynafqarve .
same as kosovo
It was never poor, people always had what they needed the only thing that lacked during communism was freedom to travel & import & export. There is poor people in every country of the world even today in the year of 2023
Why do people think it's dangerous? Where did you hear that?
Old propaganda
Go to albania and say you are from Greece the possibility is to be killed
Many CZcamsr from Greece have visited and documented being treated very well. If Greeks were being killed it would make international news.
